MarkaNcs Legs, ShakSperc's Head

Perhaps the most modest man ON the
grand stand at the unveiling of the Gar
field statue was j. q. A. Ward, the sculp-
tor. lie has long been resident of New
York city, where | have known him for
years, and have often visited his studio
He is bachelor; therefore there can be
no foundation in fact for the statement
made by city paper that his son was
with him last Thursday. Ward will regard
that as huge joke. He is a well known
figure about New York. He is close
worker, and lives in his elegant studio,
where he has suite of private apartments,
as we'll as an immense work-rOom. After
his day work is done he usually mounts
horse and takes an outing in Central
Park, where one or two of his works stand,
especially his Indian Hunter and his
statue of "Shakspere." 1t may not be
generally known that James Steele Mack
aye posed for this statue OF Shakspere,
but such is the fact. And thus it happens
that Mackaye's legs support Shakspere's
head.

THE WEED PROBLEM
Dr. Sturtevant Presents Few Facts OF
Experimental Demonstration.


In paper read before the last
annual meeting of the Society for the
Promotion of Agricultural Science, Dir.
E. Lewis Sturtcvant offered a few re-
Elections concerning the weed problem.
He first presented n few facts of expert
mental demonstration:
l. That where weeds are allowed to
grow freely the crops may be absolute
ly destroyed. In the case of corn,
the plants appear Y elbow, wilted, fail
to attain proper size and fai! to form
good ears, and the same phenomena
may be noted with other crops.
9. The amount of fertility removed
by weeds is not sufficient to establish
the conclusion that the injury comes
from the robbing of the soil and thus
starving the plant. Furthermore, if
such were the case, the application of
additional manures to Offset the rob
berry of the weeds would destroy their
malign effect.
8. Weeds are not destructive through
shading the ground. as experiment
shows that mulches applied do not pro-
duce the same effect. If, however. we
consider the enormous amount of water
evaporated by these weeds during their
growth, the necessity OF additional
water to soil in an ordinary season dur
ing the hot months. and the appearance
of the crop which indicates suffering
from thirst, the conclusion becomes al
most certain that the ill effect of weeds
is largely due to their robbing the crop
of proper moisture through their
draughts upon the soil.
AS interesting conlirmatory evidence
as to this being the true view of the
weed question the testimony of vine
yardists was quoted, some of whom adj
yocate allowing weeds to grow in their
vineyards, while others advocate clean
culture. Personal inquiry, said Dr.
Sturtevant demonstrates the general
fact that those gentlemen who advocate
the leaving of weeds in their vineyards
have lands which are not subject to ex-
cessive drought, while those who advo-
cate clean culture have usually reported
their soil rs very permeable to water.
When we consider that during the
period of ripening of the wood and of
the berry in the grape, dryness is an
important factor both in securing the
ripening and in securing the qualities,
we have at once Il plausible explana-
ton. Those gentlemen who advocate
the allowing of weeds to grow are thus
exhausting the surplus water of the soil
injurious 10 their interests as vineyard
lists. while on the other hand those gem
tlemen who advocate the thorough re-
moval of weeds are conserving the
water to the soil which does not contain
it in excess of the needs vi their occupa-
don.-M ]. World.
